I've never gotten covid and haven't ever worn anything more than a cloth mask. anyone needs tips hmu

if you don't go to high density events/indoor seating a bunch you basically are gonna find it harder to get I think unless somebody brings it to you (hence why parents, and teachers ofc, are always mega-owned) I've been unmasked 4eva and haven't gotten that poo poo but also work in an area with huge air circulation (i.e. outdoor air not recirculated), so dealing with a decent amount of ppl but not many at once. that + the goons natural proclivities sort of shields you from common firing lanes covid wise, is my theory.

still being studied. get into a study if a new one opens up

otherwise, do everything to avoid severe disease, rest lots and lots, and hope you are in the vast majority of people who did not get long covid after an infection.

The conventional wisdom is to rest for a month or more after recovery. No strenuous exercise or activities.

I am genuinely sorry that we don't know more.

Objective: To determine the most physiologic and effective saline concentration for nasal irrigation in terms of mucus secretion and cellular morphology by using normal human nasal epithelial cells treated with hypo-, iso- and hypertonic saline.

Material and methods: Fully differentiated passage-2 normal human nasal epithelial cells were treated with pure water and with 0.3% (hypotonic), 0.9% (isotonic) and 3% (hypertonic) saline solutions. mRNA expression levels of MUC5AC and MUC5B, which are known to be major airway mucins, were analyzed after 30 min using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Total mucin and MUC5AC and MUC5B mucin secretions were analyzed using dot-blotting. Cellular morphology was observed with light microscopy after hematoxylin-eosin staining and with scanning electron microscopy.

Results: MUC5AC and MUC5B mRNA levels did not change after treatment with pure water and various concentrations of saline. Total mucin and MUC5AC mucin secretions only increased following pure water treatment, while MUC5B mucin secretion increased with pure water, hypo- and hypertonic saline treatment. Morphologic analysis revealed that pure water severely damaged normal human nasal epithelial cells and that only isotonic saline did not affect their morphology.

I had to go home for a funeral and was the only person masking on two fully seated 737 flights that were 2+ hours each way

nobody was masking through two full days of viewings and a service and luncheon the third day

lol

I had to travel to Texas for a big work convention and I'm the only one masked. Departing from California I saw a total of 5 other masked people at the airport, in Texas I've seen 0 masked people period.

Due to career pressure I've gone to the company dinners unmasked/done PPE theatre like taking off my mask to eat this week, which kind of sucks but I'm also not scheduled to see my at risk relatives for weeks so can avoid transmitting anything to them if I get got. Oh well at least
I'm risking maiming at some high end dinners on the company or vendors' dime and not TGI Fridays or Chili's.

Need it for a friend whose being bone headed.

It might help to tell your friend to think of COVID as an injury. The infection is basically an assault on your body and some damage will have been done that your body needs to recover from. And the universal advice for injury recovery is to rest for a while.

A couple people expressed a bit of a siege mentality. One going off on a Costco sample vendor and posting about it in a weirdly romanticized way, another suggesting in reply that they were going to conceal carry because of anti-maskers. Then in spite of them being dealt with by mods we had so many pages of litigating if the thread should even exist and people threadshitting.

And the thread was old anyway and they're apparently doing it to other megathreads. :shrug:

I only ever saw "six weeks" as a target duration for not exerting strenuous activity post-COVID but I couldn't tell you where that thread got it from

actually, that jogged my memory a little: there was definitely this chart that had a red-color spectrum based on a study of post-COVID symptoms and recovery that I think referenced the need for rest specifically. Maybe that will help someone track it down

in any case, as far as an article: https://time.com/6215346/covid-19-rest-helps/, but even this doesn't define a specific duration

A friend here in Australia posted a question on social media: "I'm due for my booster, should I get Pfizer or Moderna??" and a bunch of people weighed in with opinions for one or the other and I Kramered into the thread going "Perhaps I could interest you in a lovely refreshing shot of Novavax? :buddy:"
